Approximately 800 dogs & cats are KILLED each HOUR in the United States, because there are not enough homes for them!
All of our pets are current on vaccinations. Many are already spayed/neutered and microchipped too. Every one of them is very special and needs a home.

Some people, though, aren't comfortable going into a shelter. There are lots of reasons for this, and we certainly understand. That's where we come in. We go into the shelters for you. We very carefully select dogs we feel will make the best pets. They are temperment tested and evaluated by our trainer and screened for compatibility with other animals, etc. The dogs are then taken to our veterinarian for a complete physical exam, shots, deworming (if necessary), grooming or any other care that's needed.
The dogs are then placed in the homes of our volunteers where they're fostered until they're adopted. While the dogs are in their foster homes, our volunteers work with them, teaching some basic obedience. This training might include housebreaking, leash control, basic manners, etc.
So, when you adopt one of our dogs, it probably has been in a foster home for at least several days. It's been able to begin adjusting to a home environment. Many times it's in a home with other animals so it's learned to adapt to other dogs and/or cats.
Because the dogs live with us, we can usually tell you a lot about them - are they good with children, with other animals, are they protective of their food, do they have any special needs, etc.
Please understand that we aren't competing with shelters or any other animal welfare group. We all have the same goal - finding loving homes for homeless animals. So whether you go to a shelter or come to us, we welcome you and thank you for opening your home and your heart to a needy dog (or two!).
Here's Where You Can Find Us: Because
we foster all the animals in our homes, we don't have a shelter with posted
hours. However, we're very active in the community. You can look for us
on a rotating basis at the locations below.
Our Spay/Neuter Philosophy: We
support the spay/neuter policy. We see this as the only permanent solution
to the stray problem. When one of our pets is adopted, the new owners qualify
to have their pet spayed/neutered for just $25 through the state funded
spay/neuter program. As part of our agreement, all new pet owners must
agree to spay/neuter their pet within the time limit noted on the adoption contract. (Most of our pets are already spayed/neutered)
Here Are The Services We Offer You:
3) Donate, donate, donate. We
can use your time, your money, your dog toys/food/supplies or just about
anything else you'd be kind enough to give us. Not sure what we need? Just
ask. We're always happy to talk about that!
"Guide dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, dog companions for those that live alone...Dogs who comfort the sick and elderly and befriend lonely children. All over the world there are hundreds of thousands of these faithful animals serving us with their love." ~ J.R.E. ~
